I'm overwhelmed that much is true,
I'm overwhelmed by missing you.
It ***** not being able to see you,
It hurts when I don't hear your voice,
I worry when I don't get a text,
And at night I'm alone and afraid.
I've grown too close to you, ya see?
I poured my heart and soul into us,
And now what's left of me is fragments,
Because us became me....and you.
I became stressed and lonely,
And you grew to be more distant;

Love isn't all it's cracked up to be.
I know in my heart this to be true,
A piece of me will always want you.
And now we attempt separate paths,
And I fear my happiness will never last.
This is how our story must end,
We were better as just friends.
I am overwhelmed that much is true,
For I desired a fairytale ending,
Instead I was met with the end of us.
I miss you,
I want you,
I need you,
I love you.
I miss you.
I miss you.  
I want you,
I need you,
I miss you.
I miss you.
I love you.
I love you.
I love you.

I still love you.

And the truth flows free,
And the numbness fades,
And you're left in a daze,
And the pain hits again,
And the feelings you felt...
Well they remain the same.
And you hate yourself,
For feeling anything at all,
For a person who let you fall.
And the hearbeat falters,
And the tears glide freely,
And the fear comes back again.
And the brain goes crazy,
With the self doubting ways,
And ya feel like ya might implode.
Well those are the days...
Those are the moments,
To remember who you are.
Those feelings don't define you,
Nor should they confine you.

And the feelings subside,
And ya pick yourself up...
One broken piece at a time.
And you are now smiling,
And you truly laugh again...
And you find yourself once more,
Well those are the days...
Those are the moments...
That I truly adore.

And I swear to you...
In that moment it was only you and I.
We were the only humans left,
Although it meant we were all alone,
I didn't mind it very much at all.
For in that exact moment my dear,
All the others need not exist.  
That my sweet prince,
Is what your presence does to me.
You make everyone else disappear
And you make everything seem okay.

Now if only it were more than a dream,
For you and I will never again be "we."

And she smiled the same smile,
And she cried the same tears,
She batted the same eyelashes,
And she feared the same fears.
As much as she had changed,
It was as if time had stood still.
And she remained the same
Light haired, spunky, green eyed
Girl that she was entering the world.
As much pain as she endured,
Her sorrows had finally been cured,
And it was then and only then,
That time chose to start again.

I am a runner.
I run from the truth,
I run from the lies.
I run from possibilities,
I run towards my demise.
I run from the chances,
I run from any and all.
I run from my pain,
I run from happiness...
I just hope that I can keep
From running from you.
I am a runner...
In the past that's all I knew,
Now I have a chance at staying too.

I've always been a runner it's true;
But maybe I can be a fighter too.
